Bones showrunner Stephen Nathan has revealed new details about the show's seventh season premiere.

In the Fox drama's sixth season finale, Brennan (Emily Deschanel) confessed to Booth (David Boreanaz) that she was carrying his child, after the pair spent a night together off-screen.

Nathan told TV Line that the forthcoming premiere will reflect Deschanel's real-life situation, explaining: "The first episode will pick up with Brennan moving into the third trimester of her pregnancy."

He added that Brennan is "still the same strong character" and will not be limited by her pregnancy.

"[She] shows no sign of slowing down," he insisted. "She attacks each case as she always has, although she must now deal with the realities of being pregnant."
